The notchy shifts are common on my E36 M3 as well, but I feel that the short shifter in the 335is exaggerates the shift effort required a bit.
I have the same experience as listed here. Never any grinding at all, but first is sometimes difficult to engage from a stop after a cold start. I generally give a little gas in neutral, wait for rpms to drop, then re-engage. Works every time.
